It doesn't matter........

What matters is that you have all the supporting pieces (FPR, Hondata, injectors, header and exhaust, valvesprings and retainers) and you do enough tuning to extract the maximum.

You will be happy with both

First tell me what you mean by "better".

Power ? where ? mid, high, extremly high range ? Depends on what you like.
Quality ? I`d say JUN
More smooth (idel) ? I`d say JUN

Do a search N00B.

Jun more towards drag racing. Toda more towards road racing.

Both cams are good. I have seen more whp on Toda equipped cars then whp on Jun cars. People tend to have more problems with Toda cams (I did, but when I get my new block I'll probably end up with some SPec C's or boost).

Tuning is the key to unlocking any of the potential between the 2 cams.

So, what you're saying is to buy Toda if you're into real racing then?

You never know til you try. Every motor is different, nobody runs the same parts. The only way to know what cams are better is to test them on the same motor, same day, same temperature, same tuning, same same same blah, its almost impossible to tell because there are too many factors. Either are an awesome choice. Best bet would be to learn a little bit more about what each cam is made for and go from there. Hell, you may even have to buy both sets eventually to see which one you like better on YOUR car.

stop the insanity.

Why do people keep saying this? I thought JUN's made more midrange and Toda more peak power.

Jun more towards drag racing. Toda more towards road racing.

Listen to canuck-mx6. It's not just the cams you are paying for....believe me, you don't realize the relevace of how much you underestimate the line : "Cost doesn't matter..." since we're not only talking about the cost of the cams and valvesprings and cam gears....the cams are just the first domino in the line of many that must fall and you will be spending money for the supporting package around these cams....no doubt about it.....you really don't know what awaits you after you buy them...And there's no Toda/Jun cams Anonymous support group....

Its very possible that Jun's could better everywhere when comparing them to Toda's. Or Skunks could kill them all. It depends on too many things like: Tuner, engine, conditions (OF both motor and enviorment) etc, etc. The bests thing to do is find out for yourself. Jun or Toda or Skunk or (Believe it or not) Stock.

Then there is always boost.

Interesting statements here... so is there even a "plug-n-play" cam setup without going down that road you're speaking of, spending endless amounts of money? Like say, for just 10whp gains? Like maybe the low-end Skunk2 cams? I've thought about this a time or two, but like you said, I have no idea what would await me after getting the cams. I was kind of hoping cams/cam-gears and some tuning for a 10whp (+/-) gain and spending under a grand. Is that possible?
